Should I include lyrics in the prompt?

Only if you want vocals. For beds and trailers, explicitly say “no vocals” in Production.

Where are trailer and lofi examples?

Open the Music library on promptcrates — filter Lofi or Cinematic, then edit Theme/Mood/Production on the detail page.

Write stronger Suno prompts with genre/instruments (Theme), energy (Mood), and BPM/structure (Production).

Music prompts fail when they mix genre, emotion, and mix notes into one unreadable sentence. promptcrates maps them to Theme · Mood · Production.

Name the genre, core instruments, and motif. Example: “lofi hip-hop instrumental, dusty vinyl, soft Rhodes chords.”

Describe energy and space: late-night drive, trailer tension, ethereal pads. Avoid BPM here.

Put BPM, runtime, vocals yes/no, loop notes, and mix constraints. Example: “90 BPM, stereo, no vocals, seamless loop.”
